Harbingers of Spring: the robins have arrived

Over the last couple of weeks the North American Robins have begun to arrive and there are now good numbers flitting about the receding snow and the newly exposed grass.  In this part of the world, they are one of the most promising signs that spring has successfully beaten back winter.  I’m very happy to see them making that case both here in Bragg Creek and in Banff.
